IPX Configuration
IMPORTANT: Even if your network uses only the IPX protocol, you must set up an IP address for the NETServer if you want to use the
1.IPX Network Frame Type: This is the IPX frame type of the network segment connected to the NETServer’s LAN port.
set net0 ipxframe <frame type> | Enter |
Valid frame types are:
ethernet_802.3 ethernet_802.2 ethernet_802.2_II ethernet_II
Example:
set net0 ipxframe ethernet_II | Enter |
2.IPX Network Number: This is the network number of the network segment connected to the NETServer’s LAN port. Note that the same physical network segment will have a different network number for each frame type used. Be sure to select the network number associated with the frame type selected above. Type the following:
set net0 ipxnet <network number> | Enter |
<Network Number> is the number you obtained by follow- ing the instructions titled First Step for IPX Networks. If you have not already obtained this number, do so now.
Example:
set net0 ipxnet 00000684 | Enter |
Note that the preceding 0’s in this example could have been omitted. The NETServer would have accepted “684” as the correct IPX Network Number and filled in the preceding 0’s.
